• Only the single shot function (A or AS mode camera settings) should be set on the camera. 
Rapid sequence shots are not possible.
• Use the 
Adapter EL (supplied) to provide the necesssary extension beyond the motor housing 
of the EL models for battery attachment. It is attached to a CF digital back in the same manner 
as a battery, and the battery itself is then attached to the adapter as in the illustration.
ELX
For use with 500EL/ELM and 500/553ELX models:
• Make an 
ELX setting.
• The 
Exposure Cable EL (supplied) should be connected.
• All exposures times, including the B setting, function correctly without having to alter 
the “Exposure Time” setting.
• Rapid sequence shots are not possible.
• Use the 
Adapter EL (supplied) to provide the necesssary extension beyond the motor housing 
of the EL models for battery attachment. It is attached to a CF digital back in the same manner 
as a battery, and the battery itself is then attached to the adapter as in the illustration.
Pinhole
For use with lenses/cameras with no shutter. Intended primarily for use in a studio en-
vironment where complete darkness can be achieved and exposures made accordingly 
(also useful for ‘light painting’). In this mode a CF digital back uses the exposure time (as 
well as other required stages in a capture sequence) set in the Capture Sequence dialog. 
e back can be triggered either via the START (MENU/EXIT) button or from FlexColor 
(see later section for full description of Capture Sequence settings procedure).
Flash sync
For use with an ArcBody, a FlexBody or view cameras with a Hasselblad adapter.
• Make a 
Flash sync setting.
• A 
Flash sync input cable should not be used.
• All exposures times, including the B setting, function correctly without having to alter 
the “Exposure Time” setting.
• Do not use a winder at rapid sequence setting.
500
For use with 500C/CM, 501C/CM and 503 CX/CXi/CW models.
• Make a 
500 setting.
H
• Make an H setting.
Shutter Delay
ere can be dierences in the amount of time required in preparation (raising the 
mirror, opening/closing the shutter etc) for digital capture between various camera 
models. is corrective feature adjusts the time a little to ensure the image is read out 
from the sensor. e normal setting is Default and should only be changed if problems 
are encountered.
Exposure Time
is setting should be changed for cable-free exposure times longer than 1/8 second, en-
suring that it matches the set shutter speed on the lens. e settings range from 1/8 second 
to 32 seconds (1/8 second is the default setting). e ELD also has a “Bulb” setting. 
All Hasselblad EL models except the ELD 
require an Exposure Cable EL. 
Illustrated here also is use of the Adapter EL to 
hold the battery.
